Pensiuni în Zafra

Daniel Portugalia

After a long rainy drive from Lisbon we arrived at this quiet (even during the Carnaval weekend) and perfectly located hotel (within a 5 minute walk you’re in the main plaza). The small hotel does not have parking but we easily parked nearby. We had a warm welcome by the nice girl at reception desk who was very helpful providing us with a map and hints and tips on where to go. Our room was number six, with a balcony overlooking the small street. The room just like all the hotel spaces was extremely clean, spacious and equipped with AC. Throughout Casa Ruy Lopez the attention to detail goes above and beyond the decoration (that we loved): there are complimentary small water bottles at room temperature and in mini fridges in common areas or if you prefer you can make different types of tea (there’s an electrical kettle), or you can have water with lemon. Breakfast was very good, a large variety of products including homemade cakes and jams, and the nice and helpful staff always asks if you’d also like toast or anything else. The location is perfect making it a great base for exploring the area (don’t miss Mina de la Jayona, Virgen del Ara and the roman ruins of Regina Turdulorum if you can). The small entrance of Casa Ruy Lopez is only a clue for what it hides inside: a delightful place to stay. Would certainly return and recommend it!
